[Claudia, when she appears onscreen, has yet another collection of eggs behind her. She's wearing the rainbow striped sweater that Sasha sent her for Christmas, along with glittery dark blue leggings and earrings that look like pokemon eggs themselves. Her long black hair is piled high on her head.

There is a tiny brown shape standing nearly out of frame.]

Oh my lord, everyone has eggs now. I guess when Pokemon want to do their thing, they really just go ahead and do it.

Anyway, hi! I've got a bunch of different things to sell or trade for. See, my shiny Meowstic Cam Geary and Shinobu's shiny Pelipper Arare decided they'd have a contest on how many shiny babies they could make, but then it turns out when Cam Geary used his psychic stuff to check who was inside the eggs, they each only had one shiny baby anyway. And those have kinda been claimed already. But there's still all these other eggs, so I made a whole list of what I have now and what I've got leftover from before and I'm going to attach the lists right now.

I'm asking for P1500 for the normal eggs and P2000 for the Azurills, but I'm okay with taking IOUs and if people want to trade I'm open to anything I don't have! And if you're someone I gave an egg voucher to at Christmas, you can trade it in now or keep it until I have something you do want!

Oh! And it turns out my Secret Santa person was someone called 'Jack,' so if you can see this, I'll give you a free egg too! The cocoa was delicious and I love those bath bomb things! I've never used one of them before--they don't sell them in my hometown yet! I only knew what they were because Stacey had told me about them? I guess you can get them in New York. Well, um, anyway, thank you?

[She glances behind her, then looks back at the camera.] Also, um, does anyone know anything about Teddiursa? Because that's what the pokegear says is following me around, but he's not letting me catch him.

Oh hey, I'm Jack, that's me!

Ho-oly shit, how many eggs do Pokemon lay? This is nuts!

But yeah, sure, I'll take an egg! Uh...I gotta look up what most of those things are.

Re: Video

[ohmylord]

Oh hi! It's nice to meet you!

[Watch her give her space cat 'uncle' a heart attack with this conversation.]

And it kinda depends on what the mom is? Different pokemon have different sized clutches. Ones like Azumarill have big clutches that hatch really fast, but Eevee only have two or three and they take a long time to hatch. And if you're a registered breeder like me, your pokemon will have twice a many eggs as normal trainers.

I can tell you what they are? Just give me the name and I'll explain 'em.

[almosthandsome]

Rhetorical question, kiddo.

I got my dex out, I'm giving it the old looksie now! You got a whole bunch of different kinds, though. Everybody's got so many of these things! I can barely keep track of the ones I got...

Re: Video

[ohmylord]

I used to have trouble too, until the old couple at the Daycare walked me through making charts and logs and stuff. I work for them part time when I'm around Goldenrod!

Sometimes making logs is a little annoying, but it's no worse than what Kristy used to have us do in the Baby-Sitters Club back home.

[almosthandsome]

Right. There's probably books and shit for that.

Oh, hey, you got those Morpekos, right?

[failgoyle]

You wanna trade what's probably a Scraggy egg for one of those kitten things' eggs?

[Jules is holding the egg up as though to show it off. The Scrafty climbing on him to peer over his shoulder looks proud of herself.]

Re: Video

[ohmylord]

Sure! Do you want anything else? The Azurills have a really great hidden ability. It's called Sap Sipper and it keeps Grass attacks from hurting them. Which is great, because they're Water, so usually it would hurt a lot.

[OOC: ... and then her player realized that she'd forgotten one of the Espurr movesets and the Wooloos entirely on the egg listing ooops. So those have been added with Jules' claim. You wanted the electric one, right?]

[failgoyle]

Oh, yeah, I've only got a Golisopod for Water, and he'd probably like a swimming buddy. Does cash work for you?

[Electric works!]

[ohmylord]

Cash is great! I love cash!

[Hurrah. Please enjoy you electric kitty and the Azurill!]

[rollstoseduce]

Those "bath bombs" are delightful things, aren't they? If it wasn't for the need to control my bag weight, I'd start a collection. [And he already keeps too many damn grooming products with him.] But let's concentrate on the important subject! Little lady, I'd love one of your Swablu eggs, if you still have any left. I can pay, but I'll also be working on eggs this month, if any of my darlings are of your interest for a trade.

[He sends her a picture of his notebook where the list of his Pokémon is written in a very elegant, neat handwriting.]

Re: [Video]

[ohmylord]

... can I have an IOU for a Ralts egg? I know they turn into fancy Gardevoirs and Gallades eventually and everyone loves those.

[Video]

[rollstoseduce]

They are fancy, aren't they? [He's chuckling.] The IOU is yours, little lady. I shall start working with my lovely Fuchsia as soon as we make it to Goldenrod tomorrow. May I know your name?

[He is writing down that he needs to save a Ralts for her on his notebook when he sees another previous note that reminds him of something. Oh. This is perfect!]

Wait - make it two Swablu. I'll give you the money for the second egg right now, how does that sound?

Re: [Video]

[ohmylord]

That sounds great! Is it for a friend of yours?

And I'm Claudia! Claudia Kishi!

[insidegalra]

[Thace has concerned face on.]

Do you have sweets or honey on you? The 'dex mentions its love for honey. Also, do you feel threatened at all by its presence?

[He will totally come by and try to get rid of it if she does.]

Re: [video] [private]

[ohmylord]

I mean, it's me, Thace. Of course I've got junk food with me.

[Silly. You and Claudia spent months traveling together. You know her eating habits!]

But no, no, I'm okay. I just want to catch it, that's all. But it's slippery.

[video] [private]

[insidegalra]

[A part of him can hold out hope that she's started eating more healthy foods!]

That's probably what attracted the attention then. Have you tried feeding it treats until it gets over the wariness? It may just be a matter of time.

Re: [video] [private]

[ohmylord]

[Sometimes. But she's not giving up her candy for anything.]

No, but that's a really good idea.

[She retrieves what looks like a Skit-Kat bar from her pocket, unwraps it, breaks it in half, and sets the one half on the ground behind her, then turns back to the camera.

The little Teddiursa darts in, picks up the candy, and then runs back off to its prior place on the edge of the screen.]

[nastyboy]

[Oh! It's that young woman he saw, who helped one of his rats during the bandit raid. Dimitri clumsily opens up his Gear for a response.]

It seems as though you have gotten quite a variety of companions...

Have you been doing well since Goldenrod?

[Focusing on other people is better than focusing on his own dramatic love life, so]

[ohmylord]

Yeah! Me and Shinobu stayed around the city a little while longer, but now that it's a new year we're traveling so he can do his gyms.

[nastyboy]

I see. That is what my companions and I are doing as well... Although we have yet to be haunted by a small bear.

[Dimitri, unfortunately, has to deal with far worse. But he keeps quiet on that for now.]

Do you think perhaps it is interested in the eggs?

[ohmylord]

... it better not be! Those are my eggs to sell, not for a bear to eat!

[bestswordmaster]

[When Felix responds to the video, there's no preamble before he just jumps in with:]

I want to buy a Meowth egg and a pony egg. I still don't understand how cats and horses come from eggs, but whatever.

[ohmylord]

I don't understand it either, but that's how it works here. Anyway, what's your name so I can write it down on my list?

[bestswordmaster]

Oh. I'm Felix.

Why is there a bear stuffy following you around?

[ohmylord]

... I don't know! It's been like this since Shinobu and I spent a couple hours sketching Snorunts while they played with his big ice dinosaur.
